Scam Overview
• The Indian government forced Coca-Cola out of the country in 1977.
• The company returned in 1993• Each bottling plants extracts up to 1.5m
liters of water everyday from the ground.• It takes nine liters of clean water to
manufacture a liter of Coke.• In 2000 Coca-Cola opened a plant at
Plachimada, a village in Kerala to produce 1.2m liters of coke every day.

• The conditional license granted by the local Panchayat authorized the use of motorized pumps
• But the company drilled more than six wells & illegally installed high-powered electric pumps to extract millions of liters of pure water.
• The level of the water table fell from 45 to 150 meters below the surface.

Kala Dera - Thirsting from Coca-Cola
• Kala Dera is a large village outside the city of Jaipur.• Agriculture is the primary source of livelihood.• Coca-Cola started its bottling operations in Kala
Dera in 2004, and within a year, the community started to notice a rapid decline in groundwater levels.

Stop Using Groundwater in Kala Dera
The assessment noted that the plant's operations would continue to worsen water situation

Coca-Cola's Response - Unethical and Dishonest
• Coca-cola took seven month to respond
• Coca-cola not respond to the concern raised
• Unethical and dishonest campaign
• Chosen to continue the operation
• Continued in misery of thousand people
![Page 12: Chapter5cocacola](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070301/545c41aab0af9f12318b4740/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Coca-Cola should no longer utilize the overexploited groundwater resource in Kala Dera
1. Transport water from the nearest aquifer that may not be stressed
2. Store water from low-stress seasons
3. Relocate the plant to a water-surplus area
4. Shut down this facility
The community in Kala Dera welcomed the recommendations and waited for company’s response.

COKE’S Corporate Social Responsibility - A Scam?
The Coca-Cola steps up its corporate social responsibility announcing to the world that it is a “green and socially responsible company.” --- but was not the case at kala dera

• The company announce its rainwater harvesting initiatives in India
• It also announce that the company will become "water neutral" in India by 2009.

Some serious concerns about Coca-Cola's claims on rainwater harvesting
• The company announced that it has recharged five times the amount of water it has used.
• When asked to back it up with numbers, Coca-Cola does not provide any.
• Coca-Cola states that they "will install measuring devices that will verify the amount of water recharged."
• If they do not have measuring devices installed to verify the amount of water recharged, how can they make a claim of recharging five times the water that they have extracted?

• People across Rajasthan are well known in rainwater harvesting and have been harvesting rainwater long before Coca-Cola started.
• Coca-Cola started rainwater harvesting to overcome response to the growing campaigns against its water mismanagement.
• Coca-Cola was bluffing people with its rainwater harvesting.
• The rainfall in the area is too low, and the amount of rainfalls fluctuates a lot contributing to 30 days of rains every year
• 80% of those rains come in just two or three days and hence rainwater harvesting is simply not efficient

• Based on their rainwater harvesting initiatives Coca-Cola company has announced that they will become water neutral in India by 2009
• Coca- cola will recharge more water than the use from the groundwater resource. ---A BLUFF

• In 2005, Coca-Cola's Indian subsidiary, sent a letter to Mr. Haksar threatening him with serious legal actions unless the billboard was replaced 'unconditionally and immediately'.
• Coca-Cola would seek Indian Rupees 2 million (US$ 45,000) for "incalculable damage to the goodwill and reputation" of Coca-Cola, and also sought an 'unconditional apology in writing'.
• Mr. Haksar said that he had no intentions of
issuing any apology because he has not committed anything wrong.
